Reviews
Grade 9 Up-Balanced coverage of a controversial subject. Four sections, each with at least two essays, address gun availability, the constitutionality of gun control, effective measures to reduce gun violence, and banning guns. The selected articles represent both sides of the issues. They are well written and the occasional use of editorial cartoons throughout helps emphasize the variety of viewpoints. Appendixes list facts about gun control, crime, deaths, laws, and public opinion as well as excerpts from primary-source materials. Excellent for reports, discussion, or debate.
